At first I thought it was a single colour frame, some tweaking and it's definitely two tone.
Rear disc appears to be a similar colour to what should be orange on the frame, so an orange disc with the logo in black?
This (to me) confirms that the unsold Tushingham bikes/framesets that were rebranded as Orange did not carry the 'Clockwork name at that point in time....that comes later with the wishbone frame sets.
That means I can crack on with the Tushingham/Orange tribute build....
It's definitely a wishbone rear end in that photo.
Thanks for posting Sinnerman.

Ill Shall keep looking Andrew, From 87 to 89 there are so many different images, of frames, builds, options, and none of it very clear. Hardly surprising I guess, given the company really was in its infancy.
M231 weren’t officially launched until 1991 but were available in limited quantities late 1990.brocklanders023":2j023htr said:I always remember my original 1989 Clockwork having Mavic Oxygen rims rather than the far more usual 231's. Don't know the timeline on these but wonder if mine was a early bike?

Althought this snippet suggest 86, i thought that was Tushingham.
